About: I've looked after friends dogs for years and am an huge dog lover looking to spoil your pet when you can't. Playing fetch and going for walks. Im retired, fit and looking for more time with my favourite animals. I'm pretty much available 7 days a week. With a big park right around the corner I'm also looking for a walking partner. I have a back yard and can crate your pet if needed. They are free to roam around the house as if it's their own home.

9. Louis E.
“Louis has routinely looked after my family dogs on many occasions when we have been busy with work commitments. Ava and Dougal absolutely love him! He cared for Dougal so well after multiple operations on his back legs and helped us ensure his healing process was smooth. Louis took them both on plenty of walks, particularly runs with Ava who is an excited and energetic Labrador, he tires her out so she can have plenty of rest in the day time 😊, I couldn’t recommend Louis enough!”

“When our usual cat sitter was unable to come, we asked Zoe. She had been recommended by friends for whom she had dog sat & she lived up to their description! She was warm, polite & took a genuine interest in our cat-(VERY important!) he is exceedingly fussy but took to Zoe & thrived whilst we were away. When we returned, he was happy & healthy & the flat was clean, tidy (an added bonus!) We would highly recommend her & definitely have her to stay again.”

“Lynn walked my dog for nearly an hour even though I had only booked half hour! She sent me updates and photos and I felt very comfortable letting my fur baby go out with her. We spoke at length before she left and I felt reassured as I had never done this before! I would definitely use Lynn again. Thanks Lynn he has been asleep all afternoon x”

About: I am an experienced and educated dog trainer well equipped to care for your fury family🐾 I cannot wait to meet them! Animal Science Bsc(Hons) graduate (Behaviour, Welfare, and Conservation) now studying a Level 5 Diploma for the canine behaviour practitioner, with more than 5 years experience in the animal sector. I previously worked in a UK leading rescue centre (home to 'The Dog House' on Chanel 4) with dogs of all sizes, ages, and behavioural needs and am currently working in another UK leading canine rescue charity. I have also owned cats my entire life so would love to look after some furry felines too! I am available to walk your dogs big or small and I also offer drop in visits to tend to your furry family members. I just ask that your dogs are fully vaccinated please! My experience with high end needs cases means that you can rest assured if you know that your pet can find things a bit tricky and will be in good judgement-free hands. If your pet is pretty easy going and just needs a bit of extra companionship throughout your busy schedule, no worries, I'm great for that too! I am an experienced dog trainer and only use kind, welfare friendly methods as your pets well-being is always the highest priority. If you are seeking some help with training, general or more complex, I am happy to help. Training is of course an additional fee but this will be discussed with you before booking. From the 19th of April I will only be accepting evening bookings and the occasional ad-hock on my weekdays off to fit around my new work schedule. I will advertise on my profile which days I am going to be available on a monthly basis. As I live with two dogs and one isn’t the biggest fan of unknown dogs, I do not offer pet sitting in my home so that every dogs needs are being catered for. I do require your pet to be fully vaccinated to reduce the risk of me bringing something into the home as I do live with dogs myself. I am happy to carry out any specific requirements that you have for your pet and can continue any training that you already have in place - but I will not conduct any training that puts your pets welfare at risk. If this is the case, I will explain my reasonings in a judgement free manner and suggest solutions if you deem it appropriate.
16. Neal B.
“"I cannot recommend Neal highly enough! They are truly an amazing dog sitter and all round lovely guy. From the moment I met Neal, I knew my fur baby was in great hands. He is incredibly caring, responsible, and genuinely loves dogs. Neal went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and loved while I was away. He provided regular updates, and even some fun stories about the adventures my dog was having on their walks to the beach. It was clear that my dog was not just being taken care of but was actually enjoying the experience, thanks to Neal's attentive and affectionate approach. I came home to a very happy and relaxed dog, and that peace of mind is priceless. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Neal's the one to choose. I was tempted to Gate Keep his details in case he gets too busy as I know once you meet Neal and see how lovely he is with your dog, you won't need to look anywhere else. Thank you so much Neal, Love Cassie & Dexter. xx”
